Nothing says Mexican cuisine like avocados, and in most of these recipes avocados are either the star ingredient, or an essential component – if you’re looking for that authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex flavour. Albeit store-bought guacamole is easily accessible and relatively inexpensive, there’s just something about homemade guac that takes Mexican-inspired recipes over the top. Why buy the packaged stuff when you can make your own with fresh ingredients? Learn how to make your own guac with these 4 Secrets to Making the Perfect Guacamole.
